What does Putin fear?

What does Putin fear?




RDS-220 "Tsar Bomba"


Above this text is the film of dropping "Tsar Bomba", the most powerful nuclear weapon ever detonated. The power of that weapon was 57 megaton, but the many layers of highly enriched uranium and plutonium slower the reaction. And the highly radioactive material inside this FFF (Fission Fusion Fission) weapon might mean to deny stealing this weapon. The mass of the bomb was high. The weight of that weapon was 27 000 kg, and the Tu-95 bomber had difficulties fitting it inside in it. 


This weapon required that the tanks of the Tu-95 "Bear" nuclear bomber were removed. And the bomb was hanging below the bomber. The reason for removing the fuel tanks from bomber is probably made for security reasons, that the pilot did not try to steal the weapon. Hanging the bomb called also RDS-220 below the aircraft outside of the bomb bay might seem exotic. 


But the makers of that test made this solution because they wanted that the bomb was visible from escort fighters. So the Western intelligence predicted that 57 megatons RDS-220 was planned to install inside the strategic bomber, what mission was to act as a missile. That means that the remote-controlled aircraft would fly over the target area, and then the bomb was detonated in it. The RDS-220 is base on the weapon, which is installed in the Status-6 nuclear torpedo. 


The Status-6 might have two of those explosives inside them. If the nuclear bomber that dropped the RDS-220 to the Novaja-Zemlja will carry that weapon, it must be connected to the refueling aircraft very often, because there is no room for large fuel storage in the nuclear bomber. 


Rosatom published a newly declassified video of the bomb. The film is involving new details of the preparation for the operation, and film where it hangs over the target area. The reason for publishing that thing might be that the Russian government wants to remind that it still has nuclear weapons in its hands, and some of those weapons are extremely powerful.

The Economist magazine asks, what Putin fears?


The Economist magazine asks, what Putin fears? The answer is that even Vladimir Putin does not rule his country, Russia alone. There are people, who are cooperating with Putin and the also expect to get something for their support. 


The thing is that the people are not supporting Putin for free, and that thing means that also Putin must remember them, the people who are making imago for that leader, but also members of FSB and OMON wants something for their services. Or do you believe that those men would stand all night long on the streets for free? OMON is an internal security force of Russia, and that thing makes those troops problematic for the government. 


The internal security force is not a so-called "clean" army or military force, what mission is to fight for its country. The mission of those troops is also protecting the power of the leaders of Russia. And they are taking commands from Putin. If they are using tough touch, that thing means that OMON police-officers are saying that they have given orders from Kremlin, what stresses the public imago of Putin himself. 


But the other thing is military technology? Can the Russian military give a challenge to western technology? We know that the Russian military is tough, but the thing that causes some kind of uncertainty in the minds of Russian authorities is does the western military tells everything to the public audience? In the real world usually the more important in the case of military power is the thing that is not told than the things that are told to the public audience. 


When the most powerful nuclear detonator RDS-220 or so-called "Tsar Bomb" exploded the question was why the U.S military didn't answer that test with its own 57 megaton test? The idea in the "nuclear poker" is that when other military force is making the nuclear test with some nuclear device, the other force would answer to that test with similar- or more powerful nuclear weapon test. The same way the Western reactions to Skyfall-nuclear powered missiles and Status-6 nuclear torpedo are a little bit too silent. So what is forgot to tell? 


Even if I have said that the drone swarms are part of the battlefield of tomorrow, I must say that also the jet fighters and attack planes are still necessary. The modern warfare bases in hybrid weapons which means that the drone swarms are operating with the attack planes, and in the front of those planes flies the swarm of drones. And the jet-fighters can be equipped with electromagnetic weapons like microwaves what can sweep drone swarms from the skies. So both actors big and small are needed in the modern combat zone. 


The other thing is that part of the Russian military newest weapons are introduced on the Internet, and you may see them on YouTube by using keywords "Russian new weapons". The problem is that those weapons are introduced in the American channel, and the thing is that the U.S military has not answered in the media.

Antimatter motor

Antimatter motor Antimatter would be an effective fuel for interstellar spacecraft Antimatter would be the most effective power source in the world. It will be the most suitable motor for interstellar spacecraft, but the problem is that thing is very reactive. And actually one of the biggest problems with this kind of motor is that the gram of antimatter would turn the entire planet to the molecular nebula. So this kind of motor can produce only outside of our solar system. Producing antimatter would need large particle accelerators, and that kind of systems might look like giant donuts, what is floating on the space. There are two ways to create the antimatter motor, one is to store the anti-ions in the magnetic bottle, where the pushing magnetic field will keep those ions away from the wall of the bottle, and then the antimatter would conduct to the water or some other particle. The huge explosion or annihilation reaction would send the rocket to a very high speed. The antimatt...

Could this be the thing, that some people don't want you to know about zombies?

Could this be the thing, that some people don't want you to know about zombies? The simplest way to control zombies, which are made by using tetrodotoxin, which is called "zombie poison" is to use the automatic dispenser, which is normally used in diabetes treatment. In this case, the dispenser would be loaded by using tetrodotoxin. If the level of this poison is right, the person would be totally under the control of other people. And if the system cannot detect this poison there is a possibility to make the laboratory experiment when the staff will follow the decrease of the tetrodotoxin, and then the system can use a simple clock, which will inject poison to the body of a victim after a certain time. This would be an effective tool in the hands of military and counter-terror operators. Those zombies can be captured enemy operators, who will send back, and then they just kill their ex-partners. By using genetically engineered bacteria could be possible to create t...

The cyborg lichen can be one of the most exotic visions of what the high-tech civilization might look like.

.     The cyborg lichen can be one of the most exotic visions of what the high-tech civilization might look like. Above is the image of the nano-submarine. There is introduced an idea, that this kind of system would equip with living neurons, which makes it like some kind of artificial bug or mosquito. The idea is that the robot can take the nutrient by using the robot tube, which acts like a proboscis. The neurons can get nutrients and the rest of the machine can use small fuel cells or the energy to that system can deliver by using the radio waves. Futurologists are thinking about the ideas, what the hybridization of the neurons and machine would look like? Could the hyper-technical civilization look like the group of midget submarines? Those submarines might take nutrients for the neurons, what is living in them. The purpose of the midget submarines, which might be size less than a couple of millimeters would maximize the survivability of the neurons. One of the most intere...
